“Angela is a great dogsitter. Our dogs love her and she always makes sure they are very well taken care of. We have had her take care of our dogs a couple of times and we were very happy. On our return, the house and flowers were also in great shape. We definitely recommend her as a dogsitter.”
“PLEASE do yourself a favor and hire Ty as your next Rover sitter. she was on time, so attentive, and provided so many updates. We really do not leave our fur baby with many people, but I felt really comfortable leaving her with Ty. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!”
“This was our first time having someone stay to watch our three standard poodles. I was nervous when picking someone. I read reviews and decided Robert was the one. I hope my review can help others find someone like Robert for their dogs. I can’t say enough good things about our experience. We felt so comfortable with Robert. He stayed at our house and took great care of our dogs. He took them on walks and sent me super sweet pictures. We will definitely be using him again.”
“This was the first time I had used Maddie to sit Charlie and I was very pleased with her service. She was very attentive to his needs, sent me daily texts and photos. I will definitely use her services again.”
About: I am a biology major at the University of Memphis studying to one day become a veterinarian. I have had a love for animals for as long as I can remember, and I have personally owned three dogs and four cats. I have worked at my high school's veterinary clinic as well as volunteered at animal shelters and taken care of family friends' pets. I am currently a student at the University of Memphis, and my schedule varies from day to day, but I am mostly available during the afternoons or early mornings. If you reach out to me, I can provide exact details of when I am available, and we can work something out! I have reliable transportation to come to your home and check in on your animals, or I can also stay the night in your home if that works better for your pet's schedule.
About: I absolutely love animals of all kind! I have taken care of/ owned pets my entire life including dogs, cats, turtles, lizards, and fish! I have been dog-sitting for other families for about a year prior to Rover! I have strong passion for taking care of animals! I am a college student at U of M and I currently only work part-time! I have tons of open availability to be there for your pets! When taking care of pets, I make sure they are well fed, comfortable, and loved! My priority is to make sure your babies feel respected in their space!
About: With 7+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I’m confident handling everything from large, high-energy breeds to senior pets who need extra patience. I offer overnight care, stick closely to routines, and am comfortable administering medications. I believe pets thrive with consistency, attention, and a calm, confident presence — and that’s exactly what I provide. I have a flexible schedule and am available for weekday and weekend drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. I prefer drop-ins and house sitting, but I can offer boarding for pets that are friendly and comfortable around other animals. I prioritize consistency and plan my day to ensure each pet receives proper attention, exercise, and routine care. I prioritize a safe and structured environment for every pet in my care. Because I have resident animals, I only offer boarding for pets that are friendly and comfortable around other animals. Introductions are done carefully and supervised at all times. Outdoor time is always monitored, and I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and home routines closely. Cleanliness, safety, and clear communication with pet parents are extremely important to me.
“This was our first, but definitely not the last, time we will use Presley to take care of the dogs, cats, chickens and pigeons. Everything went exactly as we had hoped. 5 stars for sure!”
“Brittany was such a blessing for us! She kept us well informed and genuinely cared for our 2 dogs! After I met her, I quickly realized, I would not have any reservations at all leaving my pets and home in her care! I am so grateful for this service and the opportunity I have now to know Brittany!”
About: From my experience in shelter care and veterinary medicine, I am very comfortable with caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and medical needs. I have dealt with strays and owned pets from every imaginable background, and I believe every animal is worthy of patience, respect, and affection. I’m currently unemployed so I have a very open schedule for watching your dogs and cats! I typically let my own dogs out about 4-5 times a day, and they each have their own feeding schedule that I attend to as needed. I am very flexible right now, and would also be available to do fluids, injections, and other specific medical and behavioral needs (e.g., extra walks, extra play time, etc.). I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs, and two sweet cats, to keep your furbaby company. I am comfortable crating dogs and have an extra crate for a small-medium dog. One of my dogs is a senior dog with special needs, so I am perfectly comfortable housing and caring for dogs who have their own special needs. I also have a dog with epilepsy so I am very used to dealing with seizures and the safety precautions that go along with them. These dogs have also never met a stranger, and our home is an overall very welcoming environment to all creatures (I even have a pet spider!).
About: I have previous experience in dog, cat, and house sitting. I’ve had several pets throughout my life and all have lived long healthy lives in my care. I currently volunteer with House of Mews on a weekly basis. I have knowledge and experience in caregiving, bathing, and administering medicine. I follow directions well and will give your furry friend the best care possible. Priced may vary depending on distance! Currently working my own hours, so I am flexible and free to visit whenever you need me. If you have any special requests, just let me know and we can work out pricing. My home is unfortunately unavailable for boarding. But I’m comfortable taking care of pets in all types of environments and don’t mind traveling with them in my car if you’d like me to enrich their day at a dog park or on a nature trail.
“Melissa came to the house early Sunday morning to be with Tootsie and Gizmo. She stayed with them until Saturday evening. They were well cared for. Thank you very much, Melissa.”
“5/5 stars hands down! Julia did such a great job with house sitting and was so good with Rocky while I was away! She sent lots of pictures and updates which made me feel so comfortable! It seems like Rocky took right to her for the first time ever meeting her! You could tell she has such a good spirit! She was so flexible! Rocky had an accident on the bed and Julia was so sweet to wash my linens for me. Would definitely recommend me her and her husband! Really wish I could give 10 stars!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for about 5 years now, including pet sitting, house sitting, and drop-in visits.

“Great & Responsible sitter. Was so lucky to find him after another sitter unexpectedly cancelled. Would only ask that there was more communication & pictures while we were gone but other than that him and his girlfriend did an amazing job.”
About: I provide reliable, loving care, keep owners updated with photos, and take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs. With a fenced-in yard and a flexible schedule for walks and drop-ins, I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and cared for🐾 Pet care fits well into my routine. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but I am able to come home during my lunch break for potty breaks, feeding, and check-ins when needed. I’m available before and after work, as well as evenings and weekends, to provide walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m committed to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away!! I have a fenced-in backyard that provides a safe space for pets to enjoy some outdoor time, and I always prioritize supervision and safety. I treat every pet like they are my own and take the time to learn their personality, needs, and comfort level. I also love sending photo updates so owners can feel connected and confident that their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away ❤️

Extremely happy with Angela and will use her for all of our future sitting needs. Max and Milo seemed to really like her, and that is all that counts. She was very respectful to our home and the surroundings. Thank you Angela for taking care of our babies, as we love them more than humans 😊

FAQs for House Sitting - Barretville
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Barretville on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 455 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Barretville. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Barretville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Barretville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Barretville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Barretville. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
